Just a Warning if u don't know already. I went to Chaengwattana this morning to extend my visa. I had an appointment so I drove there. Be warned..... most of the on street parking outside the building has been removed due to the massive ongoing construction. There is parking at levels 3 4 n 5 near the Centra Hotel but that was full. Took 30 minuts to find a space.

Leave Plenty of Time to park if you are driving to Chaengwattana over the next few months.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post warns about parking difficulties near the Chaengwattana immigration office due to ongoing construction, mentioning that most on-street parking has been removed, forcing visitors to use a multi-storey car park nearby, which can be full. Comments suggest alternative transportation options, like taking the monorail or motorcycle taxis, and include discussions about visa extension procedures.

 just offering advice. I have a car so I use it. It is by far the cheapest and quickest way to get there.

 No. I said most of the on street parking in front of Building B has gone. You now have to go into the multi story car park beside the Centra Hotel 3 4 or 5 level which was full when we got there.

 what you want to do and what Jomtien immigration wants you to do, are 2 different things.

As it gets busier, you can expect them in a week or 2, to start telling people to go on the last day of their stay as per normal.

I typically red line train to IT Square then cross the road from IT square and walk about 100 metres towards immigration where I would catch the first motorcycle taxi stand on the road that immigration is on

You can be sure if they ever get things sorted, easy parking and train at the door, they will move immigration farther away.
